Question

I am trying to post a form to an api with body how I can Do it. I have done so far. I want to get values from the form and send it in to api body. I have no Idea how I can Do this. now I just pass body hard coded but i want it to get the values from the form and send as a body.

code

 inviteUser() {
        let headers = new Headers();
        headers.append('Content-Type','application/json');
        let body = {
            "UserName": "user1",
            "Email": "user1@atea.com",
            "PartnerId": "1"
        };

        this.http.post('https://localhost:44300/api/apis/InviteUser', JSON.stringify(body), {
            headers: headers
        })
            .subscribe(
            data => this._data = data.json(),

You have to use Form directives and all that things for getting value from form and post it using http.

in your .html

<form class="form-horizontal" id='myForm' role="form" [ngFormModel]="CreateGroup">

  <div class="col-md-7">
    Name: <input type="text" [(ngModel)]='demoInfo.name' class="form-control" ngControl='name'>
  </div> 

  <div class="col-md-7">
    Email:   <input type="text" [(ngModel)]='demoInfo.password' class="form-control" ngControl='password'>
  </div>

  <div class="col-md-7">
    partner:   <input type="text" [(ngModel)]='demoInfo.partner' class="form-control" ngControl='partner'>
  </div>

</form>
<br>
<div class='text-center'>
  <button type="button" [disabled]='!CreateGroup.valid' (click)="addNewGroup(demoInfo)" class="btn btn-primary">Create</button>
</div>

and in your .ts

this.CreateGroup = fb.group({
            'name': new Control(this.demoInfo.name, Validators.required),
            'password': new Control(this.demoInfo.password, Validators.required),
            'partner': new Control()
        })

than send data using http like this -

PostRequest(url,data) {
        this.headers = new Headers();
        this.headers.append("Content-Type", 'application/json');

        this.requestoptions = new RequestOptions({
            method: RequestMethod.Post,
            url: url,
            headers: this.headers,
            body: JSON.stringify(data)
        })

        return this.http.request(new Request(this.requestoptions))
            .map((res: Response) => {
                if (res) {
                    return [{ status: res.status, json: res.json() }]
                }
            });
    }

i have created one example for the same for you see here etc Working example

see here also-

I use you work but when i send api with body it just set password. name and partner not set — Malik Kashmiri, Jul 11 '16 at 09:07
I think you do not need to `JSON.stringify(data)` just use `body:data` angular will stringify it. — Muhammed Hasan Celik, Jul 11 '16 at 10:53
@MuhammedHasanCelik upto my knowledge angular2 http accepts only stringify form of data not in the form of objects or array. — Pardeep Jain, Jul 11 '16 at 19:52

Create form in constructor

  form: ControlGroup;

  constructor(private fb: FormBuilder, private fba: FbaService, private router: Router) {
    this.form = this.createForm();
  }

  createForm() {
    return this.fb.group({
      "name": ["", Validators.required],
      "email": ["", Validators.required],
      "partner": [""]
    });
  }

Then integrate this form with html.

<form ngFormModel]="form" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit(form.value)">
  <div class="form-group">
    <input [ngFormControl]="form.controls['name']" type="text" class="form-control">
    <span class="text-danger" *ngIf="!form.controls['name'].valid && form.controls['name'].dirty">
      Field Required
    </span>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <input [ngFormControl]="form.controls['email']" type="text" class="form-control">
    <span class="text-danger" *ngIf="!form.controls['email'].valid && form.controls['email'].dirty">
      Field Required
    </span>
  </div>
     <div class="form-group">
    <input [ngFormControl]="form.controls['partner']" type="text" class="form-control">
    <span class="text-danger" *ngIf="!form.controls['partner'].valid && form.controls['partner'].dirty">
      Field Required
    </span>
  </div> 
  <input [disabled]="!form.valid" type="submit" class="btn btn-default" value="Add">
</form>

Then use form.value as body in onSubmit.

  onSubmit(value) {
    let headers = new Headers();
    headers.append('Content-Type','application/json');

  this.http.post('https://localhost:44300/api/apis/InviteUser',value, {
        headers: headers
    })
        .subscribe(
        data => this._data = data.json(),
        err => this.logError(err),
        () => console.log(body)
        );
  }
